What's wrong with me, a mage, loving to farm?

Chapter 348. A Different Kind of Feast

The sun rose as usual.

Pale white bellflowers rustled and sang in the dawn sky, their delicate sounds like arrows flying. The apocalyptic twilight seemed never to have happened; only the light piercing through the dark clouds and mist illuminated the eyes of all life.

It seems that the apocalypse, brought about by God, is about to pass.

But those who can see the intertwined wheat fields, thorns, and jewels on the earth would not think that way. The light in the sky announced the end with incredible speed, but the earth continues.

"bright……"

Eurydice gazed at the divine realm gradually dimming against the backdrop of the starry sky and sighed softly, "In the end, it was still captured by the world's consciousness."

He was heartbroken at losing such excellent research material, and he couldn't bear to lose a second one, so his gaze became even sharper as he stared intently at the divine kingdom of the Earth Mother Goddess that had not yet disappeared.

"The world's consciousness will not allow a god to threaten it in this way."

"This is a good thing."

"Perfect..."

The legendary mage from the astral realm took out an ancient white-gold ring and stared directly into the air before him: "I know you haven't left yet. We can cooperate and make all the gods fall from their divine positions."

"The power of order has long since seeped into the depths of your flesh and blood, merging with the roots of the World Tree, and can never be separated again."

"The gods who have received your blessings are not obedient; they are always thinking of seeking more power and more authority. Now you have the opportunity to make them a thing of the past!"

There was no response in the air for a long time, but Eurydice's expression became more and more determined—if it really didn't want to accept his proposal, the world consciousness should have left long ago. The fact that it hadn't left yet meant that it was considering it.

Iotes watched helplessly from the sidelines.

He knew very well that the world consciousness would definitely agree. For such a powerful being without a well-developed consciousness structure, it would definitely choose to eliminate anything that could threaten it.

Not to mention that Eurydice and Cloa also had a connection.

It's hard to define what affection is, but once affection is there, the affection of the world's consciousness... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a so-called "chosen one".

"I have a feeling that the world's consciousness is being manipulated," he muttered to himself.

—Soon, the world consciousness responded.

It took directly the antique white-gold ring.

As the Ring of Radiance says, confining the gods within their divine kingdom is both a form of imprisonment and protection; if they cannot leave, they cannot enter either.

Eurydice's face broke into an undisguised smile.

He thought Kroya was really amazing, he could even influence the world's consciousness, and he didn't even need to do anything, he could just easily pull those gods down from their divine kingdom.

The price is simply the "order" that the world consciousness demands.

He pondered his arrangements and muttered to himself, "I wonder if Kroya wants the council seats in Star Town... Without the shackles of the gods, those old guys should be quite willing to turn this place into the sphere of influence of the Astral Council."

While he was pondering, the starry sky not far away was already experiencing strange turbulence. After obtaining a replica of the Ring of Radiance, the world consciousness gained certain authority and immediately kicked all the gods off the divine realm.

In that instant, the radiance of the gods shone wildly in the sky, yet it could never overshadow the sun that rises every day. It could only obediently follow the commands of the world's consciousness, while also cursing the dead light to the bone.

If that guy hadn't angered the world's consciousness with some kind of twilight, they would still be safely in their own kingdoms. How could they have been forced to leave their divine kingdoms in their true forms?

The more powerful a god is, the more uncomfortable they are with being suddenly separated from their country, and they may even become suspicious and insecure.

—In a sense, their concerns were indeed valid.

When Eurydice saw the falling orbs of light, his eyes practically gleamed with excitement. He rubbed his hands together, eager to try it out.

……

the other side.

north.

The light of Eden still shines brightly under the sun, and has not been taken back by Kroya. It exists between reality and illusion, laying a layer of brilliant color on the entire North.

The fairies flitted about, led by the little angels summoned by the angel of the harp, each carrying their own instrument and playing beautiful melodies.

Long tables were laden with all sorts of delicious dishes, delicacies that existed only in fantasy materialized through Eden's power, making them available even to ordinary people without magic.

Everyone was overjoyed because their lord announced a week-long celebration!

Eden will exist for the entire week, and all those who accept the invitation to come to the North can enjoy the joys that Eden brings, including various delicacies and beautiful music.

At this moment, there is no distinction of status or position, only the status of guests equally enjoying the feast.

Of course, those invited were all related to Kroya's forces. Apart from them, there were natives from the North and other territories. With Eden's help, even if they were thousands of miles apart, they could arrive instantly. Distance was not a problem at all.

William was also among those invited.

He was even taken to the depths of Eden, to the garden surrounded by white bellflowers, where he met Chloe, who was being surrounded by a crowd.

This was the first time he had officially met Kroya.

It was also the first time he had met this powerful figure who had stirred up the winds and clouds, the largest grain merchant in the entire human kingdom, who had utterly destroyed the light, but at the same time granted him a second life.

At this moment, Kroya was holding a golden goblet, a satisfied smile on his face, surrounded by a large group of elves that he considered incredibly powerful, chatting and joking with his friends.

Beside them, two dog-sized dragons, covered in moon-colored scales and shrouded in mist, flew around, acting as waiters serving tea and water, and occasionally making smoothies on the spot according to Kroya's requests...

Of course, their kin, the few red jade dragons, were not idle either. They kept breathing out the life fire belonging to the red dragons to grill meat skewers, and when they got tired, they would drink a sip of coconut juice, working hard without complaint.

This scene looks just like a meticulously painted oil painting.

The ease and composure that came with that status and power were what he longed for. He knew he was just a pawn pushed up by Kroya, so he was always cautious and dared not relax.

He hesitated and felt at a loss.

But Kroya spotted him, and the mage, in high spirits, beckoned to him: "You've come? Come on over."

At Kroya's voice, an angel from the Kingdom of Light, who was dedicated to serving the gods and bringing them pleasure, immediately came forward, led him into the garden, and offered him sweet mead.

All eyes were naturally drawn to him, but their gazes held only simple admiration and smiles.

They actually admired this person quite a bit; it was amazing that he could shoulder such a heavy responsibility and do it so flawlessly.

"Lord Chloe..." William was even more at a loss.

"Hmm?" Chloe looked at him curiously. "Where is your wife? I specially invited you and your wife to come along."

Now the Church of Light is universally hated; even orcs can walk proudly in the sunlight, and no one dares to say a word.

As he spoke, he winked and said, "This is what you deserve."

That one sentence instantly brought tears to William's eyes. He trembled so much that he could barely hold the crystal wine glass. "She...she's pregnant. I didn't let her come."

"Pregnant?" Kroya was also taken aback. A half-orc and a human mating... what would be born? A half-orc?

He thought for a moment: "Your mission is not over yet, and the environment has become more chaotic. It will take a lot of effort to restore it."

If you're comfortable with that, send Lolisa to the North. The gentle sea breeze, soothed by my mermaid friends, is perfect for a healthy pregnancy. Your child can call me godfather then.

godfather!

William's heart was like a rollercoaster. If his child could call Chloe "godfather," it would be like growing up with a silver spoon in his mouth.

He loves his child very much. He might refuse other things, but this is the one thing he really can't refuse.

The others looked on with envy, and were considering whether they should quickly find a wife, have a child, and send him here to be raised. They didn't trust any other places, but the North was truly safe and secure.

William, his face flushed with excitement, immediately bowed his head in gratitude: "Thank you!"

"This is the reward you deserve," Kroya repeated, then casually drew a directional spatial portal: "Go, invite whoever you want to invite, and enjoy this rare feast!"

William had now completely calmed down, smiled gratefully at Keroya, and rushed through the door, where, unsurprisingly, he found his wife being cared for by the little blue cat.

Given the physical characteristics of orcs, pregnancy shouldn't require much caution. Many orcs are still working or even fighting right before giving birth, but Rosali's belly seems ridiculously large.

The enormous belly was quite a shock on the orc's slender waist, so much so that the little blue cat had to be careful and had to bring out a bunch of props to help from time to time.

Rosali looked very frustrated.

For orcs, such a huge belly is a burden, meaning they can't gather resources, can't work, and can't fight...

She even felt... that this was a curse from the orc god upon her!

Humans and orcs cannot live together!

The thought of this made her feel even more depressed, and she was so listless that she didn't even notice her husband coming home.

William, of course, noticed this immediately and put his arm around his wife's waist, comforting her, "This is perfectly normal. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, and I'll take care of it for you!"

—Little Blue has a tool that allows him to share his feelings. William always thought that if he couldn't empathize, how could he comfort others?

Therefore, during his time as the leader of the coalition, he often used that prop to empathize with others, which allowed him to truly experience the source of suffering.

With her husband's comfort, Rosalind felt much better, but she was still in low spirits: "Weren't you going to Lord Chloe's banquet? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"The master specifically asked me to come back and invite you to go together."

"Let's go, the adults' banquet is a lot of fun!"

William tried his best to sway his wife's emotions, and fortunately, Chloe's name was indeed very useful. Lolisa's eyes lit up and she nodded.

So the couple, along with the little blue cat, stepped into the portal.

The moment she entered Eden, Rosali felt a sudden lightness in her body, and then she was surprised to find that her stomach had flattened out, and the heavy burden she had been carrying had completely disappeared.

After a brief moment of surprise, she found herself surrounded by two orbs of light, shimmering with the translucent colors of life, and she also felt a strange sense of connection with them.

That's... her child!

She cautiously tried to touch it, but the ball of light playfully flew away and then suddenly came closer, as if it were teasing her.

The throbbing sensation deep within her blood made her instantly forget the pain she had suffered before. Her eyes were filled only with the two orbs of light surrounding her, completely ignoring her husband and the passing angels of life.

William gave an awkward, helpless smile: "And you are?"

The angel with wings that stretched out like streams from behind smiled: "Lord Kroya sent me, so you don't need to worry. I also brought the blessing of the Orc God."

He took out a ball of light, which contained wolf fang patterns belonging to the orc royal family, and placed it on Rosalis. A majestic voice recited a passage of obscure language.

Without a doubt, it was a word of power personally bestowed by the god of the half-orcs.

William's face showed even deeper gratitude, but before he could say anything, the angel of life flapped its wings and left—because a number of people had already gathered around.

Each of them was clearly of high rank, and they were wearing robes that were so luxurious that they were almost cumbersome. Without even looking closely, William knew that they were obviously kings of various countries!

There were some familiar faces among them.

The kings, their faces adorned with flawless obsequiousness, asked, "Mr. William, when will our nation's projects begin?"

"We're here too!"

"Don't forget us!"

Upon hearing this, William understood perfectly: these were kings waiting for their army, which had been converted from soldiers to civil architects, to carry out infrastructure construction!

He felt a faint joy in his heart. Since Lord Kroya was willing to entrust these matters to him, it meant that the lord valued him quite a bit. He also wanted to continue working and accumulate enough capital.

after all……

He glanced at his wife, who was happily playing with her children. Since she had already given him a reward, he could only happily lead these kings around in the banquet filled with delicious food and music.

He handled the other party's request with ease, neither appearing arrogant nor overly eager.

This kind of banquet really suits him!
